Christ in Sorrow with the Virgin and Saint John, 1469-1482 (Holl. 34 ii/ii)
Martin Schongauer had already ennobled engraving by transforming the legacy of the Flemish Primitives. His Christ of Sorrows, shown here in a rare impression, reprises figures from Rogier van der Weyden’s Braque Family Triptych, now in the Louvre.
